Where will WWIII erupt?

Given the Israel - Palestine War in the Middle East; the Russia - Ukraine War in Europe, and; the China - U.S. in the Far East. Where will World War III erupt?

None of these.

All of these regional conflicts will remain regional.

China is just posturing - and so is the US. Neither of us is willing to actually start a war. At least not right now. In another year or 10, who knows?

And the Israel-Gaza thing? I see a couple regional nations funneling aid in a proxy war, but none of them willing to actually go to WAR with Israel. Not after what happened the last time they tried. And not with the US still backing Israel.

And if Ukraine was going to erupt and expand, it already would have. Quite frankly, this is the only one that non-regional powers actually care about (because WESTERNERS are being invaded, zOMG). And if we have gone a year and a half without Russia swallowing Ukraine and moving on (which would have triggered expansion) and ALSO without NATO or EU declaring war, then the chances of it happening now are diminishing small.

None of these are good situations. But none of them are so bad that non-regional powers will be pulled into actual war declarations.

Historically it's always where it is least expected.

If you're thinking of a multi-theater conflict, where one group of allied nations takes on another group allied nations, I don't see that in the offing. Proxy wars, that is the threat.

I suspect it will begin with the Israel conflict and expand from there. I think it will be followed closely behind by China invading Taiwan. I don't think the Russia/Ukraine war will grow any larger unless the United States stops backing Ukraine. This could happen, though, if we get tangled up with the Arab countries, China and North Korea at the same time.

If it goes nuclear, The climate change fanatics will commit suicide. Because they will no longer have a mission. And millions would have the fake inflation reduction act that took $360 billion dollars away from the defense budget and put it toward slave labor making green hardware in China for third world countries paid for by the USA.

Regional nuclear war could trigger global cooling and famine

Even a limited nuclear conflict could spark "unprecedented climate change," U.S. government scientists warn.

I think nowhere. I think the risk to countries is too great and no one wants to be the leader who kills destroys their nation.
